January 28, 20251 yr Their Shorts 330/360 are as well, I just got an email from them. I suppose those of us who bought something from the marketplace (Islander for me) will need to wait for the 2024 marketplace to eventually open.

January 28, 20251 yr And the Bulldog! Got them all and can't wait to try them. I bought them direct. In an email they just sent me, they are saying ALL of their MSFS2020 products are now compatible with 2024. Well done and sincere thanks to Blackbox! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

January 29, 20251 yr Lovely to fly the BN2 out of TFFJ 🙂 For some reason, the GNS has not been updated to the 2024 version.. You can do this yourself by editing the panel.cfg file: [VCockpit01] size_mm = 320,234 pixel_size = 320,234 texture = $AS530_Screen ;htmlgauge00=NavSystems/GPS/WT530/WT530.html, 0, 0, 320,234 htmlgauge00=NavSystems/WTGNSv2/WT530/WT530.html, 0 ,0 , 320, 234 Edited January 29, 20251 yr by Bert Pieke Bert

January 29, 20251 yr I used to have the Flight1 Islander many moons ago. Is this version any better? Does it take advantage of the new MS2024 flight dynamics coding I wonder? Tempted to buy for MS2024 when it becomes available in the marketplace but not if it's just a simple "port-over". Would appreciate your thoughts if you own the Islander and are running it in MS2024.

January 29, 20251 yr I installed Islander and Shorts. In 2020 they look a bit outdated especially Shorts. Now in 2024 is just ugly. I wish BlackBox brought visual up to par!

January 29, 20251 yr Thanks for reviews guys. Think I'll wait until there is a native MS2024 version with updated textures and flight dynamics.

I think the Islander is a "functional" looking aircraft whereas the Trislander just looks wrong😁 Chillblast Core i5 14600KF Liquid Cooled RTX 4070 SUPER 32GB RAM. Internet: 1 Gig Fibre.

I'm curious if it works because I want to buy it, but I might wait until the compatibility issue is resolved, despite the sale they have.
